3.53 Working with a bucket
Fields of application for bucket
• The standard bucket is mainly used for digging earth, and for loosening, picking up,
transporting and loading loose or solid materials.
• Get informed on the legal regulations of your country which may prohibit driving on
public roads with a full bucket!
➥ – see chapter 1 “Fields of application and using a wheel loader with an attachment”
on page 1-5
• The machine and the attachment may be used for applications with lifting gear only if
the prescribed safety devices are in place and functional.
Safety instructions for working with the bucket
• Never drive up to the edge of a pit from outside – danger of cave-in!
• Never undermine the foundations of walls – danger of collapse!
• Operation of the wheel loader by unauthorised staff is prohibited
• When working with the machine, look out for high-voltage cables, underground cables,
gas and water pipes
• Get informed on the legal regulations of your country which may prohibit driving on
public roads with a full bucket!
• Observe the footnotes and instructions in chapter 1 Fields of application and using a
wheel loader with an attachment on page 1-5
• Bear in mind the mandatory regulations for accident prevention
• If the machine is equipped with a load stabiliser (option):
• Switch off the load stabiliser before working with the machine –seeLoad stabiliser
(option) on page 3-40
• The loader unit yields very easily with the load stabiliser switched on, making it
difficult to carry out any precise lifting movements
Before starting work, make sure the attachment is safely locked onto the quick-
hitch by means of the lock ram.
☞ You must be able to see the lock pins on either side of the mounting holes
on the attachment!
